Baking Your Festive Reese’s Bundt Cake 🎨🎄
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously coat a Bundt pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cake Batter: In a large bowl, mix together the chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and melted butter. Use a hand mixer to beat the mixture until it’s smooth and well-combined.
- Baking: Pour the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Create Filling Holes: Once cooled, place the cake back into the Bundt pan. Using a teaspoon, scoop out 6 to 8 large holes around the bottom of the cake, being careful not to break through the top.
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together softened butter and peanut butter. Add powdered sugar and heavy cream, and beat until fluffy. Transfer the filling to a piping bag for easy application.
- Pipe & Flip: Pipe the peanut butter filling into the holes at the bottom of the cake. Once filled, invert the cake onto a serving platter.
- Finishing Touches: Drizzle the cake with the melted chocolate and peanut butter, then sprinkle the top generously with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
Serving & Storage 🎄
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra festive touch!
- Storage: Cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
